[Q] why does the CTRLR have a mirco usb port? - M.O.J.O. General

Is it for firmware updates?
USB power to use when batteries are dead?

Yes, it's there to accommodate any firmware updates to the pad that we might want to release.

I hope that it comes to the Wifi Xoom soon.
Pretty disappointed with 3.1 so far....

Can we have an I/O thread to talk about all the particular things being announced? A major thing the emulator folks will love is the usb host capabilities with the Xbox360 controller.
Cant believe still no bluetooth mouse...
I have tried to update mine over wireless with no luck. Does it have to be connected to the verizon network?

Questions to 70it2 / 70B owners

Hello All,
I have few questions to 70it2 owners:
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
- How is screen ?
- Did you try to root it ?
If you successfully rooted it, I'd be interested in a dd of mmc to check if I can get the aos keys. It's completely safe for your device, and it would help me for the future...
Thanks,
LeTama
Archos 70BIT2
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
the charge is great, had no problem with it. It comes with 3 adapters from 3 countries:US, HongKong and Europe. Also with a USB cable and
- How is screen ?
screen is 7 inch and it picks up fast but regardless of the cpu usage but try not to use more than one app at the same time
- Did you try to root it ?
still looking but no one has not posted intructions to root it because this device just came out recently. I hope to root it ASAP because i have only have less than 15 days to return this. Thats all
Hi,
Thanks for the replies! Questions were a bit obsolete as I purchased a froyo it2 one (and killed it, but that's another story).

I rooted froyo it2, but don't try what's there on yours, it won't work. Root is a bit different on this tablet, but I can't do it without having it, too dangerous. Sorry!
Shame they won't release ICS for it...

Is it really that much different from the G9?
Yes, it's completely different, soc is previous generation, omap3, single core and slower graphics.
But I don't buy the argument that it would be too slow, we see it running quite smooth on slower platform. And it's supposed to be more efficient than Honeycomb after all.

He haven't written his model, is it a froyo or HC version?
If you have a froyo version try the SDE menu enabler make by Letama works like a charm (thanks again to you ).

Yes, I assumed it was Honeycomb one as it has been a long time since I haven't seen a froyo IT2, I presumed it's an extinct race

I wonder for how much you bought it. If you bought it at carphonewarehouse, listed as 70IT and sold for 99 pounds, I think you shouldn't complain...
i have bought it 110euros but i had 100euros of reduction from the firm where i work.
210e real for an error of marketing like my tab. It's just the reality, then i can complain lol
and i don't think that this tab will receive a good support from archos.
It was annonced an archos it first generation like you.

Is it possible to emulate or virtualize such hardware?
For an example, my Realtek HD audio chip on my motherboard doesn't support Dolby Digital Live traditionally (lacks the hardware chip). But it can instead use the CPU for this task with proper drivers.

Mad Catz Mojo PC Streaming

I'm trying to understand the PC Game streaming feature that Mad Catz announced will ship as an update to the MOJO.
I can't seem to find any information on the required hardware, or the quality of the stream etc. Anybody know anything about this?

Hello JJ, at the moment we at Mad Catz didn't state that, we will try to clarify that as soon as possible. Our device can be expanded and that's a really interesting feature, however we can't say anything by now. It's true that NVIDIA's GameStream functionality will come shortly, will see what we can do

Thanks for the response. When GameStream hits the MOJO, will we get 1080p PC Game Streaming through the mbit ethernet port, or will we require a usb-> gbit ethernet adapter?

Also, is multiplayer available via gamestream? Ie if I have a game that can do split screen gaming, can 2 contrlers connect to mojo and play a game?
What am I missing? I can achieve the same thing with a moga pro and HDMI...minus the huge price tag.

I'm trying to decide if I should get a shield or a mojo for myself. Also, it seems like Mad Catz doesn't even really care about the MOJO. I'm not seeing anythng on social media etc. You should send out review units.. I'll do a video review if you send one my way. Come on!

I'll open mine on Christmas morning and do an unboxing/mini-review. We need to get this forum jumping. Honestly, though, with the specs, the MOJO beats everything. I can't wait to open it, but I technically bought it for "The Family" so I can't do anything! The waiting is killing me.
It's not looking like the community, nor Mad Catz actually care about this product. I think if Mad Catz invested in a solid launcher for this, something for the 10ft experience, they could push it as a feature and really get some hype around this.
@ExtremeRyno, can you try this APK? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510 It actually began to work from my Nexus 5 (game launched and was streaming, but then crashed due to ****ty router)

To paraphrase dheku-00: You need a bit of Android nerdery. If you're familiar with sideloading and backups and flashing then this is a good device for you. I'm starting to be really quite happy with it. I can't wait for more games to become natively compatible, but in the meantime I'm pretty comfortable ripping games from my tablet and loading them to the MOJO.
This isn't a machine for the mainstream gamer. Certainly isn't friendly as a child's game system.

Regarding the ripping from your tablet. Does it work for paid games or only free games? I know ripping/backing up paid apps sometimes won't work that well.
Thanks in advance.

So far, I've only ripped two: SuperGNES and Team Awesome. Both worked, and both are paid versions (SuperGNES from Google, Team Awesome from Amazon). I have ripped Horn, but haven't had a chance to load it on.
I use AppMonster to rip. I heard that Titanium uses its own format when backing up thus the other machine needs Titanium also (not sure if that is true or not)...AppMonster rips the APK file and I just search through and find the OBB/Data if necessary.

Does this allow us to get OTA in the future? I seem to recall we need everything, including the kernel, to be stock to receive OTA's in the future. Does this root method mess with the kernel?
Nice, what do you think about the performance and the graphics on the table ?, did you recommend to change for the shield portable to the tablet ?, seriously i dont know what to do, i love my shield portable but i want to have the latest tegra

I made a quick spreadsheet with a few benchmarks. Check out the 3dMark FPS for your answer. Graphics wise it is much better.
Awesome. Can't wait to go home and root this bad boy. BTW is there gonna be a dedicated for for this. This looks like a promising device and I believe a lotta devs are gonna get their hands on this.
Thanks! Root and SU installation went very smoothly.
